[BOOK][B] Spectral theory of infinite-area hyperbolic surfaces

D Borthwick - 2007 - Springer
A hyperbolic surface is a surface with geometry modeled on the hyperbolic plane. Spectral
theory in this context refers generally to the Laplacian operator induced by the hyperbolic …

Stability transformation: a tool to solve nonlinear problems

D **el, P Schmelcher, FK Diakonos - Physics Reports, 2004 - Elsevier
We present an analysis of the properties as well as the diverse applications and extensions
of the method of stabilisation transformation. This method was originally invented to detect …

Chaotic scattering: An introduction

E Ott, T Tél - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear …, 1993 - pubs.aip.org
In recent years chaotic behavior in scattering problems has been found to be important in a
host of physical situations. Concurrently, a fundamental understanding of the dynamics in …

Generalized Lorenz-Mie theory for assemblies of spheres and aggregates

G Gouesbet, G Gréhan - Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied …, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
An interaction theory between an arbitrary electromagnetic shaped beam and assemblies of
spheres (and/or aggregates) is presented. This theory is built by the synthesis of two already …

Crisis of the chaotic attractor of a climate model: a transfer operator approach

A Tantet, V Lucarini, F Lunkeit, HA Dijkstra - Nonlinearity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The destruction of a chaotic attractor leading to rough changes in the dynamics of a
dynamical system is studied. Local bifurcations are known to be characterised by a single or …

Chaotic scattering theory, thermodynamic formalism, and transport coefficients

P Gaspard, JR Dorfman - Physical Review E, 1995 - APS
The foundations of the chaotic scattering theory for transport and reaction-rate coefficients
for classical many-body systems are considered here in some detail. The thermodynamic …

Spectral signature of the pitchfork bifurcation: Liouville equation approach

P Gaspard, G Nicolis, A Provata, S Tasaki - Physical Review E, 1995 - APS
The time evolution of probability densities of one-dimensional nonlinear vector fields is
studied using a Liouville equation approach. It is shown that the Liouville operator admits a …

Wada basin boundaries in chaotic scattering

L Poon, J Campos, E Ott, C Grebogi - International Journal of …, 1996 - World Scientific
Chaotic scattering systems with multiple exit modes typically have fractal phase space
boundaries separating the sets of initial conditions (basins) going to the various exits. If the …

Chaotic scattering and diffusion in the Lorentz gas

P Gaspard, F Baras - Physical Review E, 1995 - APS
A chaotic-scattering theory of diffusion in the Lorentz gas is presented. The scattering
process is considered on disk scatterers of increasing sizes. In this way, chaotic and fractal …
